Business
Last episode, we gave you a glimpse of the chaos we've had recently with the training staff here at Pulse Fitness. These are problems that every gym owner faces once in a while, and we thought it was a good idea to talk about the process of hiring staff for your gym and what to look out for. This might help you not hire the wrong person or hire for the wrong reasons.One of the dilemmas that you are likely to face when looking for a coach is whether to go for someone who is highly educated and has all the certifications or go for someone who has a great personality. Rarely will you get these two qualities in one person. From experience, we see that those people with a great personality are able to deliver a great workout to the clients. We believe that you should lean more on personality because you can always coach someone into the role.Hiring new staff is a great opportunity to build a strong team, so look for a coach who really cares about the clients. Remember your staff represents your business and clients just want to feel valued and have a great workout.Listen in to this episode to learn more about the hiring process and some best practices that will help you build a strong team.Key TakeawaysIs it worth it to have a smoothie bar in the gym (00:37)What to look for in a coach (02:48)Personality vs. certifications (03:21)Finding great talent through networking (07:02)Look for the coach that cares about the client (10:34)Hiring new staff is a great opportunity to build a strong team (12:15)Why you need to have a database of resumes ready for an opening (12:38)Why it's important to have both full time and part-time coaches in your gym (15:31)Additional Resources:www.PFMarketingSolutions.com/Callpfmarketingsolutions.com/automationwww.CLACourse.comwww.ProFitGPS.netMarketing Talk with Fitness Professionals Facebook Grouphttps://PFMarketingSolutions.com/Data--If you are interested in a free audit for your gym, visit http://bit.ly/free_gym_audit--You can find out more about Tim and the strategies covered in this episode by checking out our website.--Would you rather watch the video version instead?Head over to our YouTube channel to watch this episode by going here--If you don't already have my book, get your copy FREE here.--Connect with Tim:Schedule A CallFacebookInstagramLinkedInConnect with Randy:FacebookInstagram--Subscribe to the podcast on Apple, Spotify, Google, Stitcher, YouTube, or anywhere else you listen to your podcasts.If you haven't already, please rate and review the podcast on Apple Podcasts!
